Casual Friday - Urban Cowgirl

Woo! Happy Friday, everyone!

Today, I really wanted to wear this new skirt that I got at Dots (same time as these awesome polka dot pants):I'll be wearing this under other skirts come cold weather, but it's fully lined and was wonderfully breezy and cool to wear today. I love the sheer strips layered with the solid strips (you can see them a bit in the above picture).

The skirt (like the polka dot pants) is also Noa Noa (I'm a total convert - their clothing is superb quality), and it was also $18. It was regular Dots price of $49.99, and regular retail of $125.

Check this out - it was a salesman sample:I love the colour names. This skirt is Honor and I bet Jeep is an olive green. What colours do you think Cadet, Memoria and Sweetheart are?

The outside shot:

Isn't that a lovely blue?

The blouse is this one (lots of detail pictures - I'm Queen of Faeries!), and this is one of my denim vests (last seen here).

The stuff: I liked how the "urban" accents in the accessories kept this outfit from looking too country or too girly. I last wore these boots here.

I love the way you styled this skirt!! Any time you visit us here in Texas, wear this outfit and you will fit right in!! I also love the names of the clothing...makes it a bit more fun! You look fabulous!

Thanks for the support in your last comment, Sheila. I was getting a little worried that maybe I alienate people with my language. That's why I chose that letter to address in the first place. You put my mind at ease.

Sweetheart HAS to be pink! Cadet is probably military-color (drab olive or brown) and Memoria is possibly maroon. Fun game!

So pretty. I do love the Noa Noa stuff you and Audi have. Romantic and edgy at the same time. I'll have to keep my eye out to see some in person. My new love is to shop the Goodwill $1.49 sale days. I bought a brand new Merona dress last week and wore it to an interview. (I also walked away with 3 black skirts too, cuz you can never have enough completely different black skirts...hehe!!)

I love finding samples at Winners or the thrift store. It makes me feel like I am part of the design process... and it's kinda special because it might be the only one available. I am a sucker for that 'I am the only'crap....:)

Comments are so incredibly special, and I love them and hug them and treasure them forever. Please feel free to tell me what you think! I try to respond to every one, so if you want to know what I said, tick that "Notify me" box and it'll ping your email!
